Arcata Municipal Code Art. 5 Miscellaneous Provisions

A. The City shall be responsible only for the portions of the Stormwater Drainage Enterprise and Utility, which are in City-maintained street rights-of-way, and permanent stormwater drainage easements conveyed to and accepted by the City. Repairs and improvements to the stormwater drainage facilities shall be in accordance with established standards, policies, and schedules.

B. The City’s acquisition of stormwater drainage easements and/or the construction or repair by the City of stormwater drainage facilities does not constitute a warranty against

Stormwater hazards, including, but not limited to, flooding, erosion, or standing water.

It shall be unlawful for any person to place, cause to be placed, or permit to be placed, any obstruction on or within any portion of the Stormwater Drainage Enterprise and Utility. For purposes of this section, "obstruction" shall mean anything, which, by itself or in conjunction with any other thing or things, impedes or tends to impede the flow of stormwater.

If any section or sections of this ordinance is or are held to be invalid or unenforceable, all other sections shall nevertheless continue in full force and remain in effect.
